I see that the Do-more doesn't use the D2-EM/D2-CM modules... what is the thought on interfacing with an expanded I/O rack as I have several instances of sub-rack deployment? FredD

Currently the idea is to use the H2-ERM module and EBC100s as slaves. We did not want to support the EM/CM modules simply because they were quite a bit slower than ERM/EBC combination... especially noticeable in the extremely fast Do-more CPUs.
Consequently, this means since the classic H2-ERM is not really "Do-more aware ", the remote I/O will be mapped into DLV-memory in the Do-more CPU. :(
However, the next release of the ERM (ERM100), will not only be 100 Mbps speed, but it will be "Do-more aware " and map all the remote I/O into native Do-more memory (i.e. X, Y, WX, WY). :D

Sweet... since I am not planning on changing over anytime soon - I have 20+ DL-205/D2-260s installed...
Thanks for the reply.

As Greg mentioned, the ERM works great now and we have plans to further improve that in the future.
We are also planning to add a native Ethernet remote I/O function into the H2-DM1E CPU, that will allow you to connect directly to a variety of EBCs. The specific availability date has not yet been set...so please plan on using the ERM for systems until we announce it...but it is a high priority for us, and is definitely something we will be working on sooner rather than later.

Will the native remote I/O be available as a firmware update?

Goodnews on the future H2-ERM100 supporting the mapping of remote I/O into native DoMore Memory!
Interested in seeing that released to accompany the H2-DM1E CPU.
